Just thought I would remind people that the final round of the ANDRA Sports Compact Championship will be on this Sunday 21st May. Looks like there will be a number of high powered GTR's, GTS-t's, as well as the usual rotaries and fours that will make this quite an interesting meet.

So who's in, who's not, who's racing, who's going to do what? Rumours and trash talk expected :P

DAMN!

The little orange rotary won S/RWD.

I exploded another right-hand CV in the semis (and red-lit anyway) ;) That's racing.

Daniel Beer (RNMENC) has discovered that he likes drag racing and went out in the semis to Shane Crichton's Cressida (eventual runner-up) with a 12.180 breakout on a 12.200 dial-in.

Great day, dissapointed that I had to be towed home. We had spare shafts but it was getting dark and cold :( 2RISMO is now safely tucked up in bed at Bezerkly.

Track was very good and the car was pretty consistent; the runs were like this:

1st pass:

1.826 60ft

5.042 330ft

7.669 @ 91.37mph 660ft

9.925 1000ft

11.800 @ 120.02mph

2nd pass:

1.700 60ft

4.907 330ft

7.521 @ 93.03mph 660ft

9.777 1000ft

11.662 @ 118.34mph

3rd pass:

1.705 60ft

4.909 330ft

7.533 @ 94.01mph 660ft

9.789 1000ft

11.669 @ 119.78mph

4th pass:

1.698 60ft

4.909 330ft

7.541 @ 93.86mph 660ft

9.806 1000ft

12.030 @ 86.58mph - (on the brakes in eliminations)

5th pass:

BANG!

(11.662 and 120.02mph are both pb's though.)

Car is incredibly consistent in the 60' and to half track - 330ft times within 2 thousandths and picking up 26mph (28mph+ on the first run) from half track. I think I got a handle on how to get it consistent just in time to get a handle on how may passes I get out of a pair of shafts! :D

HUGE thanks to Stuart and the boys from Bezerkly Automotive in Wollongong, Daniel Beer, Taryn and Brett for the kind words of encouragement from the grand-stand.

yeah it was a mixed day alright. you were doing awesome adrian till the redlight and shaft breakage :D plus the commentators gave it to you heaps. lol but you must be pleased with a pretty solid day.

i was surpised to see the bezerkley cars running 13s on slicks (or MTs not sure which) i would have thought with all that gear they would be quite quick?

wow there was some drama with theo, poor guy i felt for him big time. the guy he was racing against went in to stage while theo was still getting ready and theo just didnt get into full stage in time and redlighted. i was really hoping for an 8 from theo but i guess that's racing. rules are rules but man it seemed harsh that he top qualified early in the day then didnt get to run again. I thought he at least would have wheeled it out for a grudge match (maybe against the 33 that ran a 14.0 for the win against him? lol) but i guess he was too pissed to bother which was a shame. I hope he comes back because his car was stunning and there is no doubt he will run an 8.

Paul and stacey had a tough day too with missing 1 quali then mechanical problem in the next and only quali seeing them not qualifying. then hit some dramas in the grudge (or were you in ET?). But i'm sure you guys will be back bigger and better. :(

Jun had some gearbox dramas but god damn it was a nice looking car and sounded just magic. It was a really nice 32 GTR. just stunning.

it was a shame that a lot of the quick cars got outed by slow ones but i guess that is DYO bracket racing. personaly not my cup of tea, but for some reason seems to be what we get in sport compact classes.

oh ye! my bro ran a 6.81 @ 210.97MPH!!! n that was on and off the throttle, still alot to come from this car >_<

i think that shut up alot of critics of his car!!!

awesome day, got my adrenaline goin jus watching his passes... 3 consecutive 205MPH + passes and no issues.

i didnt get to see many other cars race, saw a few nic 32 gtr's tho :dry:

the "camrydore" (ex vn pro stck made into a camry) sounded n did well... 2JZ from the states.

the MR MAD torana was awesome to watch, the last? pass I think it did where he backed off then hit it again to run a 7.1 was fantastic.

Flew up from Melb for the day to check it out, had a great time, plenty of awesome cars, spewin I missed some of the earlier GT-R passes.

he i think he felt the car get ou of shape wen it carried the wheels, had the steering slightly turned to anticipate the correction and i think it wasnt as bad as he tought so it veered right a bit, but to back off for that long, and then hit it agan several times and still run a 7.1 @ 208mph is phenomenal. still alot left in the car i guess!! here r some pics i dug up.

in the first photo u can see how far the wheels have come up and carried, and thats at almost half track! u can see the end of the grandstand nd the cleanup guys a little further up on the right lol i love this car haha

I had a great day - the sportsmanship shown by almost all racers was great and the breakage in the semi was the only low-light. Chris Diggles and I go way back - I'm sure he had the Arnie impersonations pumping on the commentary.

Daniel (green Bezerkly car) ran 11.80 @ 121 mph on his first qualifier but the clutch (that I helped fcuk the week before) gave up so he could only run 16psi, changing at 5500rpm. Went on to a 12.180 on a 12.200 dial. Not bad for a guy with less than 20 passes under his belt.

Theo's car was awesome on the pass I saw. I was two cars back waiting to be called forward when he went 9.0 @ 156 (I think) - sounded very very strong and the crew all cheered so they must've been happy.

Hard luck to the mighty TWO06L but when it comes back, oh man! Bigger, Stronger, Faster! >_<

Can't wait for next season.

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
